You can’t become who you’re meant to be while carrying the weight of who they told you to be.

In this episode of Beyond the Silence, Joe Trimboli (founder of the wakeup call) and I dive into the uncomfortable truth about growth, judgment, and healing—and what it really takes to break free from the beliefs that keep you small.

We talk about: – Why you’ll never find your purpose while fearing judgment – How forgiveness isn’t about them—it’s about reclaiming your power – The lie I believed for most of my life… and the moment I finally let it go – Raising kids while unlearning everything you were taught about your worth – And the mindset shift that changed everything for both of us

If you’ve ever felt stuck in who you used to be, or afraid to become who you know you’re meant to be—this episode is your wake-up call.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of childhood sexual abuse.

In this deeply important episode, we hold space for a story that’s hard to tell—but necessary to hear.

We explore the devastating impact of childhood sexual assault and the lifelong ripple effects it can have on the nervous system, identity, relationships, and sense of safety.

This conversation is raw, honest, and heartbreaking—and it’s also a testament to survival, resilience, and the courage to speak the unspeakable.

If you’re a survivor, please take care as you listen.

If you love someone who’s been through it, this episode may help you understand them more deeply.

And if you’ve been silent about your own story, may this open a crack of possibility for your healing.

You are not alone. And your story matters.

I’m usually the one creating a safe space for others to open up… but in this episode, I let someone hold space for me. I answered questions I didn’t expect. I shared things I didn’t plan to.

💔 This moment cracked something open for me—and I shared it on the mic.
